Copper Peptides - from Skin Biology. I have been blown away by what these products have done for me. Eliminated a blemish that a derm said he'd have to remove with surgery; Rid me of some small moles/skin tags; even up skin tone; tighten pores; remove what few fine lines I had & MOST IMPORTANTLY - firm up my skin - especially on my upper eyelids, neck & jowl. I was even contemplating surgery for the eyes and they are now TIGHT and not sagging!! The neck is looking less and less like a turkey all the time, too! (I am 49, after all). I've also used a CP cream on a skin condition I have on my feet - w/ extremly dry, cracked skin. The CPs have given me normal, soft skin on my feet (& hands) for the first time in 20 years.

Other products I've used that I'd recommend, but did not give me as great of a WOW factor--

Tazorac - I've used this for years for acne and (unoffically) to ward off wrinkles. It caused irritation, so I only used it occasionally. With the CPs, I can now get it's full benefit as the CPs get rid of the redness/irritation. Coincidentally - my face still aged while using this product, and the CPs seem to be reversing that aging now. It was very good w/ keeping the fine lines at bay, tho.

BHAs - Paula Choice's 2%. Adding this to my routine significantly helped keep my face clear and helped me to get off of anti-biotics. Again - the CPs took this treatment one step further and helped the BHA make even more improvements

Vitamin C - I am using this occasionally right now, but see greater results from the CPs, so I will not reorder this one. It does some nice things, just not the WOW factor CPs give me.

it would have to be the sample of the Thalgo O2 Oxygen Mask that I tried a few times. That was really something. After my skin felt really clear and upcoming breakouts definatly minimized. Skin felt softer and more radiant/brighter!

Hi. I guess it was after a month I noticed soft, glowy (not oily) skin, nasolabials softened, just healthier looking skin. I also use it under my eyes. Unlike most C's (I've tried every single one) it's used 2X a day and perfectly compatible with retinols, AHAs etc. The difference is that it's not only a C serum, it also contains DAE which, according to the rep, includes DMAE. I've been using it along with the new peptide extreme and I'm really impressed. I should do a review soon.

Jurlique eye gel. I use it in the mornings when I have puffy eyes, the type that you can feel not just see, and within 20 minutes they're gone. The only problem I had with one bottle was that so much came out with one pump that I was wandering around looking for other people with puffy eyes to give the rest to!

Neostrata does a microdermabrasion home kit with vit C crystals, an activator, an aha cream and cleansing milk.

I think the kit retails for about $60. If I use this once a week, it makes me say WOW!

Retacnyl (tretinoin - same active chemical as retin A: helps control my syringomas and sebaceous hyperplasia

Finacea: controls oil and blackheads

NIA24: evens out skin tone and helps to build skin barrier function (this is a good combination with Retacnyl for me)

Aubrey GPB hair conditioner..but used as a exfoliator..rather than a hair conditioner!!!

About 15 years ago I mistakenly rubbed this product into my skin instead of my moisturizer..and as I was rubbing it in..I noticed a lot of surface skin rubbing off with the oils from the conditioner..so I've used it as an exfoliatorever since..and have never found anything else as effective and non-irritating for both my face and body skin.
